What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We report the first case of bile duct mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN) that had a mucinous carcinoma component. An 88-year-old man with biliary obstruction was diagnosed as having distal bile duct cancer using imaging examinations and endoscopic biopsy. The patient received the best supportive care without surgical resection for 13 months until death. An autopsy revealed a bulky mass involving the distal bile duct and multiple metastases in intra-abdominal lymph nodes, the liver, and the lungs. The primary cancer was microscopically diagnosed as a MiNEN, which consisted of mucinous adenocarcinoma and large cell-type neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) components. Metastatic lesions in the liver and lungs were composed of only NEC with rich extracellular mucin without adenocarcinoma cells. Using electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry, it was proved that all NEC cells in both primary and metastatic lesions had amphicrine features. On the basis of pathological findings, we thought that the MiNEN was initially derived from a mucinous adenocarcinoma that dedifferentiated to amphicrine NEC cells with mucin production.
